Backing Up the System

This section provides information about using the Task Scheduler to back up the Avalanche system. Backup and restore functionality is available when you are using PostgreSQL databases installed at the same location as the Enterprise Server. When you back up Avalanche, the enterprise database information and software packages are saved in a zip file.

You should back up the system regularly. If for any reason Avalanche files are deleted or corrupted, you will be able to restore them from the backup files.

Note:   If you are attempting to back up your system on a Linux operating system, Wavelink recommends you perform the back up manually.

To back up the system:

1   Click Tools > Schedule Backup.

The Create A System Backup screen appears.

2   In the Name of new backup text box, enter an identifier for the system backup and click Next. This tag is used to select the correct file when restoring the system. It is not the same as the name of the zip file.

The Scheduling Options screen appears.

3   Determine when the event will occur and click Next.

The Review Your Task screen appears.

4   Review your task to ensure that it is correct and click Finish.
